{the hunt: wedges}

{Forever 21 Canvas Espadrille Slingback Wedges, $24.80}

{Forever 21 Spring Fling Wedges, $25.80}

{Jeffery Campbell Suede Platform Wedge Heel, $128.00}

 {Forever 21 Buckled Leatherette Wedges, $26.80}

I have been hunting around for a good multi-use pair of wedges for spring, as i don't have very many shoes I can wear with dresses. I think my favorites are the first two..only because the Jeffery Campbell wedges are a bit out of my price range, sadly.  :(

What do you think, wedge #1 or wedge #2?

I think wedge #2 might go with more...Give me your stylish opinions! :)

{maternity...asian style}

{Some of you have probably heard of yesstyle.com. I have posted items from there a few times but more recently found their maternity line called Momnuri! It is sooo much fun! They don't have a ton to choose from, but the pieces they do have are adorable!}

{I am super smitten with this top! I love the stripes and the little girl! Just so fun to wear wit leggings and it looks way comfy!}

{I am actually considering this dress because I am in Savannah's wedding in August and need something cute to wear to bridal showers and such! The only thing is it cost $85 and I'm not sure Im willing to spend the bucks! But it is adorable none the less!}

{sorry the pictures are a little weird and all loaded in different sizes...}

I hope you all don't get sick of me talking about maternity stuff! I'm just super excited about it right now! I have some non-maternity posts scheduled really soon! Promise!}

{the perks of being a bed bug}

{While I was stuck in bed these last 2 weeks or so I got bit by the shopping bug and my laptop became my gateway to buying lots of new fun things! Thought I'd share a few! Cuz everybody likes to shop, right?}

 {I made a big order yesterday from American Apparel, which is wayyyy over due! I have currently only one semi presentable hoodie, so I ordered 3 new ones. They sell a two pack for a pretty good deal so I got it in the colors...pewter and a sort of cranberry color. I also got a speckled dark grey colored hoodie too! So excited!}

{I also got a new pair of winter leggings in black, which I wear almost everyday! I love them! I have been redying them and sewing up holes but the ones I have now have seen better days so I decided it was time for a new pair. American Apparel can be sort of expensive but I felt like these were good purchases because this is almost a daily staple for my wardrobe and I had my last pair for a few years! I have had people ask me how I can wear leggings without feeling like by butt is hanging out and these are honestly the answer. The winter leggings almost feel like pants because they are way thicker than most leggings! Try them! You'll see what I mean!}

 {Then I got super excited because I spent enough for free shipping and I could choose a free gift! So fun! I would never spend more just to get a free gift but I just happened to! i chose this $28 soft striped tee! Totally free! Awesome! I figured it is good maternity too since its pretty long!}

 {I also picked up a 3 pack of the extra white strings for my hoodies because I always lose mine somehow! They were only $5 so I figured I would get them now since I'm already making a big order!}

{I also recently ordered a bunch of maternity clothes from Forever 21, which is awesome by the way! I know it's a little early to order maternity clothes but I noticed that on this certain day all online proceeds went to relief in Japan so I figured it was a good day to get them! I got maternity skinny jeans, a few different black tops and something they call the starter kit. It is amazing! For $15 you can get a tank top leggings and a belly band! I know right?!}

{ok this next one seems a little weird, I'll admit it! I have some diy fun-ness plnned for this crazy little cuck coo, so stay tuned for more on that :)}

{and last but most certainly not least...I ordered the Timi and Leslie Mirelle Diaper Bag! Now I may have ordered it by mistake off ebay while just looking around but I am so glad I did! I LOVE IT! It is so beautiful in person! Everywhere I looked I saw $160 price tags for this beauty but I score a brand new one with tags still on, on ebay for $50!! Boo-yah!}

{Can you tell I'm a cheerful Mommy-to-be? :) I have my first dr. appt on Friday so I'll share pictures of baby Pedersen soon :) Have a great night my friends!}

:saturday scavenging:

{Today my dear friend Savannah and I grabbed a much needed cup of vanilla chai and perused the goods at a few vintage and thrift stores! I came home with a couple little treasures I thought I'd share!}

 {Sav got these awesome Pyrex plates, cups, and saucers for $.50 a piece! The man at the shop told us they had come from a diner that had closed down!}

{I brought home 2 super cool old cans! I plan to use them for planters! I thought Nicolai would like the pipe tobacco one...ya know it's kinda manly :)}

{I also fouund this little turtle to match a piece I already have. It's in the same exact frame but I has little sewn daisies! I think they will look cute together! The little cream and sugar pieces were only $3 for the pair! I love milk glass everything!}

{Here are a few pieces I wish I had bought! the trivet was so cute but as we are trying to get rid of stuff I thought it best to pass since I probably wouldn't use it! Same goes for this sweet little nut grinder! I was drooling all over it but I was a good girl and walked away! Maybe another day!}

{So, what are you up to this weekend! I news for you all but it has to wait til next week! Busting at the seams to share!! Happy weekend!}
